## Job description

Build strategies. Shape change. Lead enterprise data transformation.

## The Role

We are seeking a visionary Data Strategy & Advisory Leader at Managing Principal level to shape the future of data in financial services. You will lead the design, delivery, and scaling of enterprise-wide data strategies for tier-one banks, insurers, and investment firms — helping them unlock the value of their data and meet the demands of an ever-evolving regulatory and digital landscape.

This is not just about advising — it’s about owning the transformation agenda: defining innovative propositions, leading complex consulting engagements, inspiring cross-disciplinary teams, and driving commercial growth. You’ll be at the forefront of modern data strategy, governance, analytics, and AI adoption, while mentoring the next generation of data leaders.

## What You’ll Do

- Design and operationalise enterprise data strategies that enable business transformation across banking, insurance, and investment sectors.
- Lead high-impact consulting engagements in data governance, literacy, quality, regulatory response, and analytics-driven decision-making.
- Shape new market propositions in data consulting, including the adoption of AI, advanced analytics, and cloud-based data platforms.
- Drive process modernisation — from business analysis to technical design, solution implementation, and long-term optimisation.
- Build trusted senior stakeholder relationships, influencing strategic decisions and securing follow-on mandates.
- Scale data capabilities across internal teams and client organisations, ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes.
- Contribute to thought leadership, industry events, and internal innovation initiatives.

## What We’re Looking For

- 8+ years of senior-level consulting experience in financial services, with a strong data strategy and advisory focus.
- Proven expertise across the full data lifecycle, supported by frameworks such as DAMA DMBOK, DCAM, or CDMC.
- Deep understanding of enterprise data transformation and practical experience in implementing modern data management solutions.
- Experience in business development — from proposition design to pipeline growth and client relationship management.
- Hands-on involvement in agile consulting projects, and the ability to navigate complex analytical challenges with ease.
- Strong communication and influencing skills across senior business and technical stakeholders.
- Fluency in German and English

Bonus Points For

- Familiarity with data regulations such as BCBS 239, CCAR, Solvency II.
- Working knowledge of SQL, Python, and related data analytics methods and tools.
- Experience applying AI solutions in financial services.
- Formal certifications in data governance, architecture, or strategy.
- Background in leading large, multi-disciplinary delivery teams.

## Why Join Us

- Deliver high-impact, transformational data strategies for leading financial institutions.
- Work in a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture where your ideas shape the future.
- Access continuous learning, training, and industry certifications.
- Influence not only client outcomes but also the strategic direction of our data practice.
- Be part of a team that’s redefining the future of digital financial services.
- Capco’s #BeYourselfAtWork culture means we celebrate individuality and work in an environment where diverse perspectives truly drive results.
